• Premiership – Wigan v Aston Villa [Ladbrokes] 19:45

Wigan conceded 4, without reply, away to Bolton at the weekend, although they are a different proposition at home, with wins against Chelsea & Liverpool this season. Villa are coming off a creditable draw away to Stoke. It is difficult to pick a winner here but with Wigan looking weak at the back the odds are looking good for over 2.5 goals.

Over 2.5 goals @ 2.25

Despite the recent upturn in John Carew’s performances, the form player in the Villa side has to be James Milner. With Milner also taking his sides penalties, hes always an interesting bet to score.

James Milner (any time) @ 4.0

• Champions League – Chelsea v Inter Milan [Ladbrokes] 19:45

Jose Mourinho returns to Stamford Bridge with his Inter Milan team holding a 1 goal advantage from the first leg. The match tonight is tough to call, taking into account Chelsea’s excellent home record it is hard to see them losing at home. However we all know Mourinho will set up his team to protect the lead they currently have & frustrate the home team, while looking for a chance on the break. Expect a tight, cagey game, but I can’t see Chelsea keeping a clean sheet.

Inter (to qualify) @ 2.1

• Championship – Reading v QPR [Bet 365] 20:00
Reading are the form team of the Championship and this is mostly based on the upturn in their home form, and they have been scoring goals for fun recently. QPR are a different team under Neil Warnock, a man who know how to manage a team in this division and I expect them to be tough to beat while retaining their attacking potential.

Over 2.5 goals @ 1.95
